Questions for setting up a university-wide Discord server

Hello! I work at a higher education establishment (a university, specifically) and I am part of a team that has been tasked with exploring Discord and how we can integrate that into the educational world. I have a list of questions below that if you have any insight on that would be much appreciated! In order to keep things organized, please designate your responses with 1.1, 2.3, 4.1.2, etc. 

This is something I'm looking to cross post to a few different subreddits to get the most information I can. If there are other places I should be looking please feel free to drop those links here as well. 

1. Does the higher education company you work for have a university-wide discord server?
2. Who was in charge of setting it up?
   1. Who monitors it? Is there a designated team?
   2. Is it someone's job or is it self-monitoring with the help of bots?
   3. Are educators involved?
3. Why did you start it?
4. List of hows
   1. How are you verifying students?
      1. Do you have a way to separate/identify students/alumni/prospects?
      2. Do you keep those groups separate or allows them to mingle?
   2. How did you set it up?
      1. What channels, chats, bots, etc
   3. How do you handle clubs/teams that already have servers?
      1. Are they part of the main one or do you allow them to have their own?

Thank you so much for your time and I appreciate you taking the time to read through this and/or respond.
